Does one thing: disables the “Application Passwords” feature.
Activate this plugin to completely disable the new Application Passwords functionality (added in WP version 5.6). To re-enable Application Passwords, simply deactivate the plugin.
Features
<ul>
<li>Lightweight – only one line of code.</li>
<li>Simple to use – activate and done.</li>
<li>No settings to worry about.</li>
<li>Easy peasy.</li>
</ul>
Why is this useful?
Because not every website is the same. Not every website needs this feature. Also disabling application passwords helps to limit unnecessary exposure and eliminate unwanted functionality (i.e., bloat). Whatever the reason, it is your choice. That’s the beauty of WordPress. So if, for whatever reason, you decide that application passwords should be disabled, this plugin will do it with a click.

Disable Application Passwords

Jeff Star at Perishable Press has done it again. If you're new to his stuff, you definitely need to take a closer look. Thanks for this plugin! I just installed it on all of my sites.

Another Exceptional Plugin

Activate this plugin to disable the Application Passwords feature that was added in WP v5.6.

Help secure your WooCommerce site by enforcing stronger passwords and taking additional control of your strength requirements.
<h3>What does this plugin do?</h3>
WooCommerce has an integrated Password Strength Meter which forces users to use strong passwords. Sometimes this isn’t desirable – with this plugin, you can choose between five password levels ranging from “Anything Goes” to “Strong Passwords Only”. In addition, you can modify the colors and appearance of these custom messages, as well as modify or remove the password hint. For details on how the password strength is determined, <a href="https://github.com/DanielSantoro/wc-password-strength-settings/wiki/How-Password-Strength-is-Determined" rel="nofollow ugc">please read the documentation here</a>.
<h4>What’s New?</h4>
Version 3.0.0 is a bit of a rewrite to bring the plugin up to modern coding standards. Functionality should not be impacted, but if it is, please reach out on the support forums.
Version 3.0.1 is simply a hotfix declaring compatibility with WooCommerce HPOS. Since this plugin doesn’t touch anything with the orders or order metadata, it shouldn’t be impacted at all. However, if you notice any issues then please reach out via the contact form on my website.
<h4>Notes</h4>
While this does allow for user accounts to have weaker passwords, it’s a good idea to still encourage strong password use – especially for administrators!
<h4>Planned Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Option to remove “- Please enter a stronger password.” that is added by WordPress.</li>
<li>Nothing else at the moment, but let me know if you have any ideas.</li>
</ul>
